JulienHuxley (1708) - Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle. Clear gold pour with extreme rocky, frothy white head that keeps rising in the glass. Nice sweet grainy aroma, herbal, grassy hop notes, very subtle belgian yeast profile, almost no spice. Grassy, bready flavor, a bit yeastier than aroma-wise but not much, very clean. Rich but drinkable palate, only slightly over carbed. Tasty belgian pale strong.

mathieuc (281) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 7, 2013
Pours a nice and clear golden with a out of control foam for a head. Aroma is fruits mixed with cloves (or some other generic spice). Taste is sweet but not cloying with a bitterness that goes largely unnoticed. Flavors of banana and again cloves and some other phenolics are to be found. Overall a good belgian ale!
